Lock-ins: Some variations

Just throwing out some different approaches to the traditional Lock-in. Each idea however assumes that it is an all-nighter. What other variations are out there?

  • A MAD lock-in (Music, Art, Drama): have specialists come in to lead hands-on music, art or drama projects. Have everything working toward designing a worship service. Maybe plan on doing the service with the whole congregation at some point.
  • A Movie Lock-in. Go to one or more movies in theaters, then come back and watch movies at the church. With theological reflection, of course.
  • A progressive lock-in. Every hour or so go to different location, like participant's homes, for a portion of the lock-in. Of course have these per-arranged.
  • A service lock-in where you do projects for various agencies such as making hygiene kits for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, or sorting clothes at the local emergency shelter.
  • A surprise lock-in. Maybe I'll do a separate post on this one. It works but has to be done carefully.
